I've looked through the posts for answers to my question, and I've seen the behaviour verified... but not the design intent explained.
The OH (and room) sends are exclusively pre-fader. That is, turning down the snare volume does not affect the amount of snare present in the OH and ROOM mixes... the send dials control this exclusively.
Now... that does indeed mimic a miced-up drum set... but it is a bit frustrating for me. If the snare sounds amazing but is too loud I need to bring down the snare fader and the OH send in equal measure to retain the tone but attenuate the volume.
Would it be possible to add a pre/post button on each send?
